Re: 6 Cylinder Diesel For a D9
@ Jared
The engine should idle between 500-650 rpm, it should produce about 15 hp at 25-2800 rpm and would be governed to 3200 with an electronic fuel shutoff at 4000 rpm just in case it runs away.
@ Mazdaparts
Some of the first r/c engines were diesel engines but not in that form that we think of diesel engines. They could not run on diesel fuel, they were compression engines that ran on a cocktail of low flashpoint fuels.
Well today I've started ordering my material. Going to go pick it up tomorrow at McMaster Carr will call. Going to start with a 6" x 12" piece of soild cast iron and whittle it down to the block. It's amazing how few suppliers carry cast iron bar. The block design is finished and I'm getting antsy to have something to show for the design time besides a pretty picture.
